Either way the "something in his eyes" statement means the same thing. They did reliably identify replicants by their eyes. The wall mounted test unit in the 2049 LAPD office presumably gathered the same data, among other things. | |

Gaff, ever cryptic and taunting, replies "It was something in his eyes." This is not a figurative statement saying "I could just tell by looking at him," but rather, a reference to the ethereal red glare of a replicant's eyes - "He ran because he is a replicant. Replicants run." Here's something I wrote a few years ago, which expounds on their relationship (I'm the commenter on the article, named "Chefemotional." Of note - I predicted the idea of Deckard and Rachael being set up by Tyrell) goo.gl/6KkDut | |
